Thanks, guys, for your thoughts. I haven't been ignoring this thread, I've been thinking pretty hard about the ideas and experiences posted by everyone.

What does she want to do? That is the $64K question, isn't it? She is a skilled potter and could certainly make and sell her pieces, but that wouldn't really get her out and interacting, it would be more solitary work. She is good at organizing events, for example she put together and for years ran the annual holiday market for the kids' school with dozens of well-selected vendors, kept all the vendors and customers happy, not sure exactly what job that correlates with. She could do front-office stuff, administrative assistant and so on, I'm not sure how much she'd like it and I suppose it would depend a lot on the office. She'd be very good at certain kinds of retail, there is that aesthetic/decorating thing going on, plenty of people interaction potential but it seems like more of a young person's game.

I'm going to rack my brain some more.
